But first, look at the cake Hope decorated last night at the church's Activity Night! Her great-grandmother would be so proud; we certainly are. Many thanks to fondant genius Shona for making this activity possible.Here are some talks Daniel and I have had in the past few days:
Me: Daniel, what do you think Santa will bring you?
Daniel: A green candy cane!
Me: Anything else?
Daniel: Umm...a red candy cane?
***
Daniel: Mom, can we make some dangerbread cookies?
Me: Do you mean gingerbread cookies?
Daniel (enunciating carefully): No, Mom. Dangerbread.
Me: Uh, sure, honey.
***
Daniel (looking at a Nativity picture book): There's Baby Jesus.
Me: That's right.
Daniel: Is that Elizabeth?
Me: No, that's her cousin, Mary.
Daniel (closing the book): The. End. Mom, is that heavenly ever after?
Me (misting over): Yes, sweetie. It is.

"Heavenly Ever After".
Wow, Hope! Excellent!
And that Daniel...how sweet he is.
What a heart-warmer! Very nice story.... I love kids.
Nice looking cake!! Good job.
Love the innocence of little ones...
The cake is perfect. And that is so cute . . . Heavenly ever after . . . beautiful.
I like to eat Dangerbread while listening to Kenny Loggins singing that "Danger Zone" song. Very stimulating.
The cake is exquisite! And Daniel? What a darling!
Hee hee...my word validation is Mr. Muppo...~snickers~
Now I like the sound of Dangerbread. A thrilling ginger ride of happiness. :)
Dangerbread: Revolutionizing the traditional holiday recipe. I can see it now...
*sniff*
I did the random things meme. Check it out. (please)
What a gorgeous cake! And those are absolutely precious conversations with Daniel. And I want dangerbread cookies, too!
Great cake, I'm impressed. Fondant is not an easy animal to work with.
And your son . . . aaaahhhhhhhh.
A great looking cake. I am impressed. I have not ventured into working with fondant.
Your Daniel stories are very sweet. I love when they come up with things like that. I only wish I were blogging back when my kids said sweet things so I would have them recorded. I love the his great expectations, his desire to live life on the edge, and the heavenly innocence he displays.
"heavenly ever after"
fantastic.
Merry Christmas!
Cute. :D
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you and your family.
I love the thought of Dangerbread. Hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Ian
Heavenly Ever After sounds like a great book title--or movie title. Go for it, Daniel. Help your mom write it :-)
Please let me know when you finish creating the recipe for dangerbread cookies. I will want some I am sure.
